It's that time of year again. The trees start to bud, the flowers start to bloom, even the carnies awaken from their winter slumber.
The Denton Jazz and Arts Fest today was a great example. A lovely day to taste and see and hear Denton at it's finest
(or not ?)
Finest: Katy's 4th and 5th grade choir got to sing on an indoor air conditioned stage. She's on the top left.
Not so finest: Not sure Emily realized she was filming...
Finest: The Jazz Fest is by one of the nicer playgrounds
Amanda climbing up
Emily climbing down
Claire is real excited...YEAH!!!
Katy and Jacob were watching everyone else...and I was watching them
Becca was sliding..and I snapped this one at just the right time.
Not so finest: We didn't ride any of the "rides" They wanted $2 - $4 per kid for one trip through a bouncehouse/tunnel thing or a scary (old and wobbly) little ferris wheel.
Finest: Katy got to do a little painting in the kids free arts and craft tent.
Not so finest: Some little kid painted on his paper and hers :(
Finest: The kids like to take pictures with my camera. Sometimes they do a great job. Thank you, Jacob.
Not so finest: Sometimes they take pictures of random stuff or the people sitting around us. Good job, Amanda.
Finest: Claire was sharing her Kix with Amanda....
Not so finest: During the last song, Amanda starts telling me that "Claire needs more Kix"...louder and louder and louder. I think Amanda ate all Claire's cereal and Amanda wanted some more :)
Finest: We have many memories of being at the Jazz Fest over the years... Darren has played with all kinds of bands: UNT lab bands, Pecos River Brass, Inner City All Stars....
Not so finest: Which usually meant Darren was on stage while I was the main parental unit for our offspring. This year was no different. Daddy was playing his axe at a church conference, so I was still the main parental unit. Missed you daddy.
And you too, Bonhams.
But the offspring did great.

Hi there, I am a friend of Priscila's (pretty sure you and I have met before though) and I followed her blog, to yours... and just wanted to leave a comment that your post made me laugh outloud. The not so finest pictures of random people, had me rolling. Hilarious :)
Your kids are adorable too btw!
Oh, how funny, my friend Stephanie commented on your blog :) See? You have good stories to tell and we all love to see pictures of the kids. Aren't you glad you started your blog a year ago???
By the way, she took our kids' pictures almost 3yrs ago, remember trying to get all the cousins to smile AND to look at the camera?! LOL
I love the video of Katy's choir! That one's a keeper!
And Amanda and Toby are going to get along great, he likes to eat Andrew's food too! We always catch him drinking his sippy cup with water down juice! And his cheerios, and his peaches, and his chicken, and his crackers, and his...you get my point :)
Love you!
We'll see you so soon I'm getting butterflies in my stomach! I'm SO excited!
I thought it was pretty funny that manda was yelling for claire's cereal.... because she wanted more. - Rachel
We miss you and the festival too. The art tent is always our favorite. One year we rode the rickety ferris wheel.-amy
P.S. Aren't you glad you won't be riding the highway ALLLLLLL the way to Disney.
Evidently Amanda read your blog and is more preceptive than we thought...? She realized that the lady in green ( amy translation pink:)is part of the carny side show (i will leave you to figure out which one) - Uncle Marcus
